Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - OPHIR & SIDE TRAILS + ANOTHER BEAR

I went to a ladies' lunch in town to help celebrate Sig's birthday.  It was stormy looking & spitting rain when I returned to the RV, but Jim and I decided to go look for elk.  We headed to Ophir Pass trail and took some of the un-named less traveled side roads.  

This is what the sky looked like from the RV:

Forest road:

 A big rock, covered in moss:

 A doe:

Lighting not so good today!

As I am scanning the landscape for elk, I see something big moving.

Yep, it's another bear:

Here's his big ole butt:

 Highway back to Silverton.

You can see the city at the end of the road:

 Perfect ending to the day - a double rainbow:
